About meRecovering lawyer or late-blooming PhD depending on one's point of view. After 30 years of law practice, I earned my PhD in History and taught at the college level both at the University of Iowa and Luther College. At the moment, I am retired and ALMOST have enough reading time!

About my libraryMy library reflects my passion for and love of art, profession as a historian (specializing in America after Reconstruction -- the Progressive Era, the Great Depression, and the New Deal in particular), and love of literature. In grade school, I read constantly, even while I walked. Sometimes I walked into phone poles. Now I live where there are sidewalks and no phone poles. Problem solved.
